WANG & LEE GROUP ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF HONG KONG’S FIRST LOCALLY DEVELOPED SMART FLOORING PROJECT, TRANSFORMING STEPS INTO CLEAN ENERGY
Innovative partnership with City University of Hong Kong paves the way for sustainable urban solutions
HONG KONG, March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wang & Lee Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: WLGS) (the “Company”) today announced the successful installation of the first ever developed and made in Hong Kong smart flooring system capable of converting kinetic energy from human footsteps into usable electricity. This milestone achievement, developed in collaboration with City University of Hong Kong (“CityU”), marks a transformative leap in sustainable infrastructure and underscores the Company’s commitment to its Environmental, Social and Governance initiative and advancing innovative clean energy technologies.
The groundbreaking smart flooring project, installed in the high pedestrian traffic corridor in Hang Seng Bank Headquarters Building in Central, Hong Kong, utilizes advanced piezoelectric and electromagnetic technologies to harness energy generated by pedestrian movement. This energy is stored in integrated batteries and can power lighting, digital signage, and other low-voltage applications, reducing reliance on traditional power sources.
Mr. Ho, CEO of Wang & Lee Group, stated, “Today’s success is a testament to Hong Kong’s spirit of innovation and our shared vision for a greener future. By turning everyday actions like walking into a source of clean energy, we are redefining urban sustainability. This project aligns perfectly with global efforts to combat climate change and demonstrates the tangible impact of smart city technologies.”
The initiative builds on the strategic partnership between Wang & Lee Group and CityU’s School of Energy and Environment, announced earlier this year. Combining the Company’s engineering expertise with CityU’s research capabilities, the project overcame technical challenges to optimize energy efficiency and durability for high-traffic environments.
Looking Ahead: Expanding Renewable Energy Frontiers
Buoyed by this achievement, Wang & Lee Group plans to deploy similar systems in transportation hubs, commercial complexes, and public spaces across Hong Kong. The Company is also accelerating Research and Development in complementary technologies, including solar-integrated pavements and AI-driven energy management systems, to create holistic renewable energy ecosystems.
“This is just the beginning,” added Mr. Ho. “Our mission is to make renewable energy accessible, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into daily life. We are actively exploring partnerships and pilot projects worldwide to bring these solutions to communities in need of sustainable infrastructure.”
